Placebo ( plə-SEE-boh) are a British alternative rock band, formed in London in 1994 by vocalist-guitarist Brian Molko and bassist-guitarist Stefan Olsdal, who have remained the two constant members, with three full-time drummers throughout the band's existence. Molko and Olsdal were joined by drummer Robert Schultzberg for a demo, a split single, and their eponymous debut album in 1996. Shortly after the album's release, Steve Hewitt replaced Schultzberg on drums. Placebo gained exposure in 1997 after the single "Nancy Boy"... [more on Wikipedia]
